MM2 Upgrade: Z axis cable carrier

I finally also finished my Z axis cable carrier, this is going to nurse the cables for extruder, X endstop, hot-end, thermistor for hot-end, wires for the ringlight under the carriage, wires for fans, and most likely one or two aux outputs, just for future brain farts.

At some point I am most likely also going to replace these plastic parts with aluminium, but so far they will stay plastic until the printer is actually running.

The cable carrier I use is an igus E08.16.028 with 17 links and of course matching ends, that should give enough movement for Z to be able to move all the way to the top.
